Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has reflected on when Wes Brown had to be carried out of a Christmas party during their time at the Red Devils, after angering Roy Keane.

As is tradition with the majority of companies in the UK, football clubs host Christmas parties for their players in the build-up to the big day.

With players having to endure strict diets to allow for maximum levels of performance in elite football, the festive social event is a chance to let off some steam.
